mutmain hai vo banaa kar duniyaa — Mohammad Alvi

donon ke dil mein khauf thaa maidaan-e-jang mein
donon kaa khauf faasla thaa darmiyaan kaa

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa

kamre mein maze ki raushni ho
achchhi si koi kitaab dekhun

aur baazaar se kyaa le jaaun
pahli baarish kaa mazaa le jaaun

bulaa rahaa thaa koi chikh chikh kar mujh ko
kuein mein jhaank ke dekhaa to main hi andar thaa

nayaa saal divaar par Taang de
puraane baras kaa calendar giraa
